Have you ever not taken action on sometime because it felt overwhelming and no one was pushing you to step outside your comfort zone? You’re not alone.

At the end of January, I was nominated for the Armed Forces Insurance 2023 Military Spouse of the Year award. Thanks to your support, I was invited to attend the AFI Military Spouse of the Year Town Hall in Washington DC in May.

When I got back from the trip, I started reflected on my experience and decided to record an episode for you. So today’s episode is all about my biggest takeaways from the event, what keeps us playing small, and what we need to move forward.  

As you listen to this episode, my hope is that you will take some time to reflect on where you are today, and how I can support you as you take your next step on your journey to living with purpose.

Better Together,

Christine

My life might not look all that different from yours. I’m juggling motherhood with three kids, military life, frequent moves, volunteer opportunities, and working from home. So how do I do it all?

Or perhaps the better question is, what tips and insights do I have to help you navigate your journey?

This episode is an honest conversation about expectations, what’s really possible, and three things that have helped me live with more meaning and less overwhelm as a military wife and work from home mom.

I hope this episode inspires you!

Better Together,

Christine

What happens when PTSD comes home?

Today’s conversation is with Lissa Figgens, a veteran army ranger spouse and now a mom to an active duty service member. Lissa is a Time Management Coach and has built a business around helping women who feel pulled in all directions. But she reached out to us, because her heart is for military spouses. She asked if she could share her story about living with someone who struggled and sometimes still struggles with the effects of PTSD.

She shares about:

• Not knowing that she was ever going to become a military wife

Lissa never thought mental health was going to impact her family. She thought she was gaining knowledge that she would eventually be able to use to help someone else, but it was her friends who ultimately supported her and helped her get the resources and tools she and her husband needed.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, we encourage you to seek professional help and remember that you are not alone.

Better Together,

Christine

What happens when military life gets in the way of your dreams?

That’s what happened to Morgan Scully. From a young age Morgan knew she wanted to be in the profession of helping and healing. She graduated with a BS in psychology, and a MA in counseling, with a goal of entering the mental health profession. But moving with the military made starting her own practice challenging.

She tried everything from teaching school, to planning travel, to getting involved with an MLM company. But she always knew she was meant for more and that she that had a passion for mental health.

In this episode we talk about Morgan’s journey, what she’s learned along the way, and how she was finally able to find a way to combine her background and passion for mental health, with her love and respect of animals, and step into a purpose that is truly a dream come true.  

We unpack:

• How getting hung up on the “how” kept Morgan feeling stuck

I can’t wait to share this conversation with you!

Better Together,

Christine
